101 in 1001

So Steve's cousins Kim and Anna decided to do this 101 in 1001... I am not a person to stick with long term goals. The more I thought of it, the more it sounds like something I want to try.

This is what you do: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1,001 days. The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of effort on your part).

Since I am starting today, so my ending date will be December 16, 2012. This is my 101 Tasks I Will Complete in the Next 1,001 Days I like how Kim put it into categories.
